Collage & Mixed Media courses in London
Collage is an exciting, accessible and creative medium. Experiment with a rich variety of materials to make vibrant work exploring surface, form, colour and pattern, and be inspired by artists who make effective use of this way of working.
We offer a range of Mixed Media and Collage courses from 1 day sessions for beginners through to more intensive courses such as Contemporary collage projects, for students who want to experiment with their art practice. These Mixed Media courses explore and combine a variety of collage techniques using found images, drawing, painting and paper to create unexpectedly beautiful or powerful images.
Our courses are taught by professional contemporary artists who bring their wealth of experience and their specialist knowledge to enrich the student experience and to put the subject into a historical and contemporary context.
